Duenas.Ms. Lopez-Vanegas and her au-

tistic son were arrested by BorderPatrol agents in 2011. The agentsthreatened that if she didn’t sign vol-untary departure, she would be de-tained for several months and beseparated from her son.

Under this pressure she signed the“voluntary departure” form and sheand her U.S. citizen son were ex-pelled to Mexico.

Samuel Nava is the husband of aU.S. citizen wife. He was arrestedat traffic stop and taken to a BorderPatrol station. Nava, too, was told thatif he refused to sign he would be de-tained for months. The agents alsomisinformed him that he could obtainlegal status through his fiancée, oncein Mexico.

The agents also made threatsagainst Nava’s family. Under thispressure he signed “voluntary depar-ture” and was expelled from the U.S.His fiancée was forced to leave andjoin Mr. Nava in Mexico, where theywere married and have been living.

Ana Maria Dueñas is the motherand grandmother of U.S. citizens. Shewas detained by Border Patrol agentswhile she was waiting for a bus in ElCajon. They told her she could notget relief from an immigration judgebut that she could get legal status oncein Mexico through her U.S. citizenchildren.

Dueñas, like other immigrants, wastold that if she refused to sign theform, she would be detained for twomonths—without informing her thatshe could be released on her ownrecognizance if she chose not toagree to “voluntary departure.” Shesigned the form and was expelled toTijuana.

When American Civil LibertiesUnion attorneys began preparing alawsuit in early 2013 to protect un-documented immigrants from beingforced to sign voluntary departurepapers by immigration officials, localimmigration attorneys remarked thatthe idea was “crazy and unrealistic.”

A year later, the ACLU won itsvictory in a class-action lawsuit,Lopez-Vanegas v. Johnson. It al-leged that Border Patrol and Immi-gration Customs Enforcement (ICE)officials employed lies, deceptive andcoercive practices to deport scoresof immigrants who would have hadstrong claims to remain in the UnitedStates had they appeared before im-migration judges.

The ACLU attorneys, staff mem-bers and supporters celebrated theirvictory Oct. 25 with food, entertain-ment and an award presentation atSan Diego’s Centro Cultural de laRaza.

The lawsuit maintains that in or-der to convince immigrants to signtheir own explusion papers, agentsand officers “have intimidated andphysically abused the plaintiffs,threatened to retaliate against theirfamilies, held them incommunicado,and presented them with false infor-mation.”

Said attorney Anthony Stigler ofCooley, LLP, a partner in the lawsuit,“We expect that this lawsuit will leadto the cessation of these forced ‘vol-untary departures’ and the reunifica-tion of the aggrieved individuals withtheir families.”

Three of the nine plaintiffs in thelawsuit are Isadora Lopez-Vanegas,Samuel Nava, and Ana Maria

ACLU Lawsuit Settlement Staves Off Forced Deportations

At the Centro event, ACLU staffmembers and supporters presentedan award to attorney Sean Riordanwho led the litigation team, winningthe historic settlement with the Bor-der Patrol and I.C.E.

“This is a substantial reform ofhow the Border Patrol and ICE dobusiness,” said Riordan. “If theyimplement the agreement fully, neveragain should families be driven out byimmigration enforcement practicesthat rely on misinformation, deceptionand coercion.”

The lawsuit argued that the coer-cive tactics used against the immi-

grants, including threats, verbal andphysical abuse “resulted in the invol-untary waiver of core due processrights. By signing voluntary departure,an individual is usually deported withinhours and is denied re-entry to theU.S. for 10 years.”

The lawsuit was also filed on be-half of the Coalition for Humane Im-migrant Rights of Los Angeles,(CHIRLA), the Pomona EconomicOpportunity Center and the San Ber-nardino Community Service Center.

Gabriela Rivera, an ACLU attor-ney who worked on the lawsuit, toldthe audience at El Centro Cultural that

the case would not have gone for-ward were it not for the efforts ofimmigration partners and advocateswho located the plaintiffs and broughtthem into the lawsuit.

“We learned a lot from these ac-tivists and we also learned a lot fromthe plaintiffs,” said Rivera. They stuckwith us, despite separation from theirfamily members and the sufferingthey underwent.”

In his more than 22 years in edu-cation, he has worked in kinderthrough sixth grade, middle and highschools, adult education, RegionalOccupational Program/Career Tech-nical Education program, and at sev-eral colleges and universities.

Now that Reyes is running for Seat5 in the Chula Vista ElementarySchool District governing board in theNovember 4 elections, he said he willuse all of that experience to bring aprofessional mindset to the table.

Of the three candidates running forSeat 5, Reyes is the only one withreal professional experience in edu-cation.

“In addition to my 22 years of workexperience in education, I have a doc-torate degree in Educational Leader-ship, Educational Specialist degree inEducation, and a master’s degree inBusiness Administration,” Reyes said.“The combination of these degreesallows me to have a deep understand-ing of the educational system and howwe can best serve students.”

“The ‘clients’ of school districtsare children,” Reyes said. “Wheneducating children, there is no mar-gin of error. The goal is to success-fully provide a quality education forall children. There needs to be peoplethat know, understand, and have ex-perience in education to be able tomake the right decisions for students.Board members need to ask the rightquestions of the superintendent andprovide meaningful feedback,” headded.¸“Having worked as a classroo teacher and as a school administra-tor for many years this provides mewith a ‘big picture’ vision of the needsof the district.

An old landfill in the north-ern Mexican border city ofTijuana continues drawing bina-tional scrutiny. In a recent meet-ing, San Diego City CouncilmanDavid Alvarez expressed con-cern to a Mexican counterpartthat the closed El Jibarito dumpsite could endanger public healthon both sides of the border.

Felipe Ledezma, Tijuana citycouncil member and presidentof the elected body’s environ-mental commission, said thepossible run-off of contami-nants from the dump in the di-rection of Playas de Tijuanaand Imperial Beach in neigh-boring San Diego County wasraised as an issue of concern.

Beach pollution is amongnumerous environmental haz-ards traced to El Jibarito. Situ-ated adjacent to several work-ing-class neighborhoods, El

Los ex bracerosy su apoyo al Dr.MirelesPor Abel Astorga Morales

En un contexto nacionaldonde la violencia ha llegadoa niveles escalofriantes, larepresión se ha desatado, lasmanifestaciones endurecido ydiversificado, y en general eldescontento social se hageneralizado a raíz de hechoscomo los de Tlatlaya oAyotzinapa, los ex bracerossiguen manifestándose enMéxico y solarizándose condiversas causas sociales.Desde el día 29 deseptiembre el grupo de exmigrantes de AlianzaBraceroproa liderado porVentura Gutiérrez, iniciaron la“Caravana de Penal enPenal” con el objetivo desolidarizarse con el Dr.Mireles y los AuténticosAutodefensas. Estamovilización concluyó el día13 de octubre con el arribode decenas de ellos al PenalFederal Número 11, enHermosillo, Sonora, con lapretensión de verpersonalmente a losautodefensas encarcelados.

Como se sabe, el día 28 dejunio Fuerzas federales yelementos del gobierno deMichoacán, detuvieron a 83personas en el Municipio deLázaro Cárdenas, entre ellasa José Manuel MirelesValverde, ex vocero y uno delos fundadores y líderes delos grupos de autodefensa enese estado, hoy trasformadosen la Fuerza Rural Estatal.Tras su detención, fueronpuestos a la disposición delMinisterio Público de laciudad de Morelia, yposteriormente enviados alPenal de Hermosillo. AMireles y los demásdetenidos se les intentóimputar cargos de portaciónde armas de fuego de usoexclusivo del ejército ydelincuencia organizada, asícomo su posible participaciónen homicidios. Cuestionesque a decir de los exbraceros y otros grupossociales, es falsa y más bienfue parte de una “invención”del Gobierno FederalMexicano al advertir que elpueblo realmente puedeorganizarse para exigir susderechos, y tratar de darsolución a las problemáticasque las autoridades nocorrigen.

La Caravana de Penal enPenal de Braceroproa inicióel 29 de septiembre (DíaInternacional del Bracero)con la manifestación afueradel Penal Mil Cumbres enMorelia, Michoacán,exigiendo la liberación deMireles. Al día siguiente en lamisma ciudad, antes de quese realizara el desfile enmemoria de José María

Jibarito was closed in 2002 butreopened in late 2013 by a pri-vate company operating underthe new name Norbac until itwas closed for business againlast month. The waste facilityhas long been the target ofprotests waged by neighborsand the Agape group.

Activists have documented800 cases of sick people,mainly women and children,who’ve experienced allergies,cancers, reproductive disor-ders, birth defects, respiratoryproblems, and anencephaly, acondition in which a baby isborn without parts of the brainand skull. Local residentsblame the ailments on thedump.

Ana Bella Aguilar, whosebaby was born with anenceph-aly and died at birth when themother was 18 years old, saidshe was in good health aroundthe time of her pregnancy five

years ago when workers fromthe landfill moved machineryemitting strong odors only sixfeet from her home. “I wouldlike to at least know what wenton,” Bella said.

Maria Cristina Guicho, ayoung resident who is nowstricken with thyroid cancer,said a doctor’s instructions tomove away from the dump arecomplicated by her inability towork, the lack of money, andhigher living costs in other partsof Tijuana.

“If I pay attention to her anddon’t die of cancer, I could dieof hunger,” Guicho contended.

Albert Rivera, a pastor whoworks with residents opposedto the dump, assessed the en-vironmental situation as grave.“We believe this is an environ-mental crime and somebodyshould go to jail,” Rivera de-manded.

Community activists assert

that their grievances have beenanswered with official neglect,bureaucratic foot-dragging andlegal maneuvering. Recently,however, activists convincedTijuana’s municipal traffic de-partment to slap fines on a com-pany that was subcontracted totransport trash to El Jibarito.

But dozens of residents hadmuch less luck with the legalsystem after they showed upin court to testify about thedump. They soon witnessedtheir case thrown out on a le-gal technicality because thecomplaint was filed against thecompany under its previousname. Norbac then obtained alegal order shielding the com-pany from additional lawsuits.

While the old dump stillstands, some movement aroundthe El Jibarito controversy is oc-curring in the different branchesof the Mexican government.

The Tijuana municipal gov-

ernment is attempting to deter-mine who was responsible forallowing the dump site to re-open last year without an en-vironmental impact study andproper land use permit.

In a separate probe, the Fed-eral Attorney General for En-vironmental Protection is in-vestigating the exact nature ofcontamination at El Jibarito.Tijuana City Councilman FelipeLedezma favors a permanentclosure of the dump as well asan environmental remediationof the land.

Baja California State Rep-resentative Fausto Gallardohas expressed a similar opin-ion on the matter.

FRONTERA NORTESUR

Editor’s Note: Given thegravity of the events sur-rounding the government/cartel killings and forceddisappearances of studentsand civilians in Iguala,Mexico, on September 26and 27 of this year, FronteraNorteSur is devoting specialcoverage to the growing re-percussions of the IgualaMassacre, which some ob-servers now compare in itspossible impact on Mexicansociety to the 1968 studentmovement and TlatelolcoMassacre. The following isa summary of some of thispast week’s major develop-ments.

Public outrage over the po-lice murders of six people andforced disappearances of 43students from the Atoytzinaparural teachers’ college in thesouthern Mexican state ofGuerrero continued to snow-ball this past week.

Parts of the Mexican Re-public were virtually paralyzedby a 48-hour protest convenedOctober 22-23 by student, la-bor, farmer, and social organi-zations. Significantly, actionsranging from the shut-down ofuniversity campuses and thetakeover of government of-fices to the blockade of high-ways and international bordercrossings extended from thetraditionally “politicized” zonesof Mexico City and southernMexico to many nooks andcrannies of the country.

The Mexican press reportedactions in at least 18 of thenation’s 32 states, includingusually less politically activeentities like Colima and NuevoLeon.

On the evening of October22, and for the third time thismonth, hundreds of people tem-porarily blockaded the Bridgeof the Americas betweenCiudad Juarez, Chihuahua, andEl Paso, Texas.

In a march that wound fromBorunda Park to the bordercrossing, protesters shouted outthe names of the 43 disappearedstudents and plastered picturesof the missing young men at thelocal headquarters of the fed-eral attorney general’s office.

“To seek a better educationis not a crime” and “There arenot enough bullets to kill us all”were among the messagesspotted on signs. Young peopleformed the vanguard of theprotest, with participating stu-dents from the AutonomousUniversity of Ciudad Juarez,Autonomous University ofChihuahua, Technological In-stitute of Ciudad Juarez andthe Ricardo Flores Magon Ru-ral Teachers College of Sau-cillo, Chihuahua, a sister insti-tution of the Raul Isidro BurgosRural Teachers College inAyotzinapa. The women stu-

Tijuana Border Dump Generates More Controversy

Mexico’s Days of Love and Ragedents from the Saucillo schoolhave been at the forefront ofadvancing the cause of theGuerrero students in CiudadJuarez and other parts of Chi-huahua state.

Among numerous actions,an estimated 15,000 peopledemonstrated in Guadalajara,Jalisco, while 40,000 studentsjoined in shutting down insti-tutions of higher learning in theneighboring state of Zaca-tecas. For the first time in its180-year history, studentsshuttered the University ofGuanajuato Law School inprotest. Meanwhile, in thesouthern border state of Chia-pas, indigenous Zapatista com-munities lit candles for theAyotzinapa students.

In Mexico City, tens ofthousands of students frompublic and private universitiesmade up huge sections of amarch through the capital city.“No violence, no violence,”chanted students from theUniversity of Chapingo.

“We’re witnessing the larg-est march of recent years, per-haps since the university move-ment of 1968,” wrote politicalanalyst and Proceso columnistJenaro Villamil. “It’s one with-out party affiliation, withoutelectoral slogans and with agreat indignation that is visible

on faces, on banners, on plac-ards, in spray paintings, and withslogans that channel the angerin the direction of (President)Enrique Pena Nieto.”

Interviewed prior to themarch, an activist involved inthe massive student strike forinstitutional democracy and ac-countability, public educationand professional integrity stillunderway at Mexico City’sNational Polytechnic Institute(IPN), voiced the heart-feltburst of solidarity with theAyotzinapa students that issweeping Mexican universitycampuses.

“The rural teachers’ collegesand the IPN are sisters. Whatis happening to the (Ayotzinapastudents) hits us in the guts; it’sfamily from the other side. Weare linked. We were born as in-stitutions for small farmers andworkers. We share the samefather, (President) Lazaro Car-denas,” said a female studentidentified as Magali. “One can-not think of these as isolatedevents. There are connectionsbetween the student teachersand the struggle of the Polytech-nic…”

In Guerrero the movementgot a jump-start on the rest ofthe country as teachers, stu-dents and the citizenry in gen-

eral began occupying nearlytwo dozen city halls in differ-ent regions of the state earlyin the week. In Tixtla, thou-sands of people supported byarmed members of the indig-enous-led community policeeffectively took over the smallcity located near Ayotzinapa.By week’s end, protesters ledby the Guerrero State Coordi-nator of Education Workersand Popular Guerrero Move-ment occupied Acapulco’s cityhall for an “indefinite” time.

On October 22, between10,000 and 20,000 people dem-onstrated in Iguala, the sceneof the September 26 crime,garnering enthusiastic supportfrom the residents. A smallgroup of young people brokeaway from the crowd and setIguala’s city hall ablaze.

Across Guerrero protestersdemanded the safe return ofthe Ayotzinapa 43, punishmentfor the authors of killings anddisappearances, medical atten-tion for victims wounded in theSeptember 26-27 attacks, andthe ouster and trial of GuerreroGovernor Angel Aguirre, whomprotesters hold responsible forthe violent circumstances pre-vailing in their state, now con-sidered as the most violentplace in the country.

As the week drew to aclose, the protesters got partof their wish: Governor Aguirreannounced he was requestinga leave of absence from office,in a move just short of outrightresignation.

“In this tragic scenario, I re-ject that the public debate shouldcenter on whether I remain asthe governor in charge,” Agui-rre said late Thursday, October23. “The priority should be oncontinuing with the search forthe missing young people.”

Internationally, members ofMexico’s vast diaspora andsupporters staged demonstra-tions for justice in London,Paris, Helsinki, Copenhagen,Madrid, Barcelona, Florence,Bogota, La Paz, Los Angeles,and other cities in at least 15countries. On October 24, ac-tivists in Santa Cruz, Califor-nia, plan a vigil for Ayotzinapa.

But nearly a month after lastmonth’s violence, it is still notconfirmed if the dozens ofcharred corpses subsequentlydiscovered in multiple, so-called“narco-graves” on the out-skirts of Iguala belong to themissing Ayotzinapa students.

Eduardo Reyes, candidato a la mesa directiva de las

escuelas de Chula Vista: “La educación es mi pasión”Por Pablo J. Sáinz

Piense en cualquier niveleducativo y el Dr. EduardoReyes ha trabajado de unamanera u otra en ese nivel.

En sus más de 22 años enla educación, Reyes ha trabajadoen escuelas desde kínder hastasexto grado, en secundarias yhigh schools, en educación deadultos, en programas de carrerastécnicas y en varios colegioscomunitarios y universidades.

Ahora que Reyes estácontendiendo para el Puesto 5de la mesa directiva del DistritoEscolar de Chula Vista en laselecciones del 4 de noviembre,dijo que va a usar toda esaexperiencia para traer unamentalidad profesional a lamesa.

De los tres candidatos quese postulan para el Puesto 5,Reyes es el único con experienciaprofesional real en educación.

“Además de mis 22 años deexperiencia de trabajo en laeducación, tengo un doctoradoen Liderazgo Educativo, gradoEspecialista en Educación, yuna maestría en Administraciónde Empresas”, dijo Reyes. “Lacombinación de estos títulos mepermite tener un profundoconocimiento del sistemaeducativo y cómo podemosservir mejor a los estudiantes”.

Dijo que es importantecontar con miembros del consejoque tengan amplia experiencia enla enseñanza y la administracióneducativa, porque ser unmiembro de la junta significaservir a los estudiantes.

“Los ‘clientes’ de los distritosescolares son los niños”, dijoReyes. “En la educación de losniños, no hay margen de error.El objetivo es proporcionar conéxito una educación de calidadpara todos los niños. Es

necesario que haya gente queconoce, comprende y tieneexperiencia en la educaciónpara poder tomar las decisionescorrectas para los estudiantes.Los miembros del consejotienen que hacer las preguntascorrectas al superintendente yproporcionar retroalimentaciónsignificativa”, agregó.

“Después de haber trabajadocomo profesor de aula y comoadministrador en escuelas pormuchos años me proporcionauna visión de las necesidadesdel distrito. Sin embargo,también sé lo que se necesitaen el aula, los desafíos diariosque los maestros tienen, lasnecesidades de los padres, ylo más importante, sé cómoaprenden los niños y lo que

necesitan para tener éxito”, dijoReyes.

Los otros dos candidatos,Willard “Doc” Howard yJoshua Smith, mencionaron quesus profesiones son autor yepidemiólogo, respectivamente.Reyes advirtió que los votantesno pueden correr el riesgo deelegir a alguien que no tieneexperiencia profesional eneducación a para la mesadirectiva de las escuelas deChula Vista.

Hay una frustración justifi-cada en nuestra comunidad.En estos últimos años hemosrespondido al llamado a ha-cernos ciudadanos, a ejercer elvoto, y a participar en los de-bates que afectan a nuestracomunidad, sobre todo en lareforma migratoria.

Después de demostrar nu-estro creciente poder electoralen el 2012, asentando que parallegar a la Casa Blanca senecesita el apoyo Latino, elSenado aprobó una propuestabipartidista de reforma migra-toria. Logramos un gran paso,y avanzamos a la Cámara deRepresentantes. Pero auncuando había ahí un grupobipartidista tratando de lograr-la, los miembros extremistas deesa cámara amedrentaron alliderazgo republicano y blo-quearon la reforma. Dado esebloqueo, el presidente prometióutilizar su poder ejecutivo paratraer alivio a nuestras comuni-dades, que están sufriendo elefecto de más de dos millonesde deportaciones efectuadaspor su administración. Perodespués los amedrentadosfueron un pequeño grupo desenadores Demócratas, que lepidieron al presidente esperarhasta después de las eleccionesde noviembre. Y en eso esta-mos.

En tiempos así, es fácilperderle la fe al sistema elec-toral y abandonarlo. Pero nolo hagas. Si algo nos enseñaesta experiencia es que lospolíticos le hacen caso a laspolíticas del miedo, y es obvioque todavía no nos temen.

Creen que no vamos a votar yexigir cuentas, o que nuestrosnúmeros son pequeños enmuchas contiendas por lacámara de representantes y elsenado. Se les olvida que enestos tiempos, un númerominúsculo de votantes puededeterminar el resultado de unaelección.

Friends of Humane Society of TijuanaBy Mimi Pollack

Animals don’t have nation-alities. They will love you nomatter who you are and whereyou come from. Unfortunately,humans’ treatment of animalsvaries greatly, depending on thecountry and culture. There aremany strays and homeless ani-mals in Mexico. The dogs andcats of Tijuana, Tecate andNorthern Baja California,Mexico are lucky to have anorganization here in San Diego,called Friends of Humane So-ciety of Tijuana. This organiza-tion was founded to give directsupport to the Humane Societyof Tijuana and the same dedi-cated group of volunteers over-sees both. Their mission is topromote the well being of theanimals of Tijuana and Baja, in-cluding the more than 7,000stray dogs, by setting up spay/neuter clinics, “itchy/scratchy”clinics, giving assistance topeople who rescue homelessdogs and cats, and programs toeducate the public.

Up until 2006, there was noteven a Humane Society inTijuana. That changed whenRichard Massa, a retired deanand vice president of San Di-ego City College, Leticia Coto,a long time animal rights activ-ist in Baja, and Alejandro Arias,a local lawyer, merged theirvision and energies and found-ed the society. Leticia Coto isnow the acting president.

They do not have a buildingor shelter, but rather rely ondedicated fosters on both sidesof the border who help them.All their clinics are also mobilewhich enables them to goaround Tijuana and northernBaja, and to some of thepoorer neighborhoods wherethere is a great need for theirservices. They want to foster

itchy/scratchy clinics wherethey treat the animals for fleas,ticks, mange, and parasites.They also find suitable fosters,set up adoptions for the rescuedanimals, run the adoption eventsthey hold at local shopping cen-ters, including Whole Foods inHillcrest and Petco on FriarsRoad, and help raise funds topay for all the bills and supplies.

Finally, they also promote hu-mane legislation and work tosustain suspension of electro-cutions at public dog pounds inMexico. They are the angelsworking to protect the animalsof Tijuana and Baja, providethem with a better life, and topromote more responsible petownership among the people. Itis a daunting task. They havereceived funds from the PetcoFoundation, but they are alwaysin need of donations, supplies,medicines, and people to fosterand volunteer. To find out howyou can help and when theirnext event will be, go to theirwebsite www.friendsofhstj.org.

more responsible ownershipthat isn’t always there by ex-plaining the importance ofspaying and neutering, dew-orming, using flea medicationsand even just the basics likefood, a bowl of water, andsome shelter. They usuallyhave four clinics a monthwhich includes neutering al-most 50 animals, 70% dogs and30% cats. Their organizationis strictly non-profit and theyrely on donations that mostlycome from San Diego and thisside of the border.

Because of this, in 2007,with the help of Nicole Rileyand Michelle S. Grycner,Friends of Humane Society deTijuana was founded. RichardMassa is the president ofFriends of HSTJ, Michelle isthe vice-president and Nicoleis the secretary.

This organization was set upto give support to HSTJ, andthey help to organize volunteersand veterinarians for the lowcost spay/ neuter clinics, and the

The largest social servicesagency in San Diego Countyis culminating a year-long cel-ebration of its centennial withan elegant and sophisticatedevent.

Neighborhood House Asso-ciation, which was founded in1914, will have its 100 yearblack tie gala, Celebrating aCentury of Service, on Satur-day, November 8th, from 6 p.m.to 12 a.m., at the San DiegoConvention Center, ballroom20.

The gala, which will serveas a major fundraising event,will gather community, civicand corporate leaders, to cel-ebrate the agency’s century ofsuccess and community ser-vice.

The Honorable James E.Clyburn, Representative ofSouth Carolina’s 6th Congres-sional District will be theevening’s keynote speaker.Entertainment includes Jazz inPink and CEO’s Rhythm Sec-tion.

“This gala really wraps us ayear of celebration,” saidRudolph A. Johnson III, NHAPresident and CEO. “It is thehighlight of our year, celebrat-

ing our community service.”The centennial celebration

kicked off back in January,when Neighborhood HouseAssociation held a ceremonyat the Marston House Mu-seum in Balboa Park. Commu-nity and business leaders cametogether to celebrate theagency’s achievements andcommemorate the agency’shistory and positive impact onthe San Diego region.

NHA also had other eventsduring the year, including a Ce-lebrity Chefs Table, a Celeb-rity Golf Tournament, and aCommunity Day of Service.

For Johnson, these eventsreaffirmed NHA’s central rolein promoting social justice andcommunity service in San Di-ego County.

“I think we had a very suc-cessful centennial celebration,”he said. “We were able to edu-cate the public about the ser-vices we offer. Our clientswere very enthusiastic duringeach event.”

Founded in 1914 by a groupof women, NHA began as asettlement house assistingMexican and other immigrantsin transitioning into the SanDiego Community. NHA hasbeen instrumental in support-

ing underserved communitiesthroughout history’s most dif-ficult periods, including theMexican Revolution, the GreatDepression and two WorldWars.

In early January, the Cali-fornia State Assembly recog-nized NHA for its 100 yearsof service.

Although in a century NHAhas grown into one of the larg-est human services organiza-tions in San Diego providingservice to more than 24,000families each year, Johnsonsaid that the agency hasn’t for-gotten its roots.

“We still make sure that it isan efficient operation thatmaintains its heart,” he said.

Jacqueline Sherman-Rustin,NHA director of communityaffairs, said that the agencyremains “very true to its mis-sion” of serving others and pro-moting self-sufficiency.

Johnson added that thefounding mothers were aheadof their time by realizing thatMexican immigrants deservedthe same rights and benefits asanybody else in San Diego.

He said that about 40 to 45percent of the people NHAserves is of Latino origin.

With an annual operating

budget of over $84 million andmore than 700 employees,NHA is the largest multi-pur-pose human services organiza-tion in San Diego County, serv-ing thousands of residents (chil-dren, families, seniors, andyouth) each year.

NHA provides employmentfor 700 individuals, operatetwelve social service programs,and operates 120 sites through-out San Diego County. NHAis proud to continue the workthe Marston family started inthe area of civic welfare, so-cial advocacy, and communityengagement.

“I believe that if the Mar-ston sisters were still alive, theywould be very proud of whatNeighborhood House Associa-tion has accomplished in these100 years,” Johnson said.

For more information on theblack tie gala and to purchasetickets, and to learn more aboutall the services NeighborhoodHouse Association offers,please visit www.neighborhoodhouse.org.

After 100 years, Neighborhood House Associationremains “very true to its mission”

present at the Centro event. “Ittook a long time to get the plain-tiffs we needed for this case.But we thank you for stayingwith us. You and your familiesare not only a great exampleto us, but you are an integralpart of this whole process sothat other families will not gothrough what you have en-dured.”

Details of the class actionsettlement are still being workedout. A hearing on final approvalof the settlement is set for Feb.9, 2015.

2014: ¿otra paliza para los demócratas?El presidente Barack Obama, doblando la

curva de su último periodo presidencial, no figuradirectamente en ninguna boleta de laselecciones intermedias del 4 de noviembre, peroafectará los resultados en varias de las reñidascontiendas que determinarán si los demócratasmantienen o pierden el control del Senado.

Al presente los demócratas tienen la mayoríadel Senado con 55 escaños, incluyendo los dosindependientes que votan como demócratas;los republicanos tienen 45 escaños. Éstosnecesitan una ganancia de al menos 6 escañospara lograr la mayoría en un año en el cual elmapa electoral desfavorece a los demócratasporque tienen más escaños que defender: 21en comparación con los 14 que defienden losrepublicanos. En el 2016 será lo contrario: losrepublicanos defenderán 24 escaños y losdemócratas 10. De ahí que muchos concluyanque aunque los demócratas pierdan el controlde la Cámara Alta este año, tienen posibili-dades de recuperarla en 2016 porque el mapaelectoral los favorecerá.

Pero dos años en política son un mundo ynos ocupa la elección intermedia, la cual, si lossondeos aciertan, se perfila como gris para losdemócratas y, por ende, para la agenda de salidadel presidente Obama. Desconozco si será unasacudida como la paliza (shellacking) de 2010,catalogada así por el mismo Obama cuando labatalla por la pieza central de su legado, elObamacare, costó escaños a los demócratasque entonces controlaban ambas cámaras delCongreso y la Casa Blanca. Obamacare avanzósin apoyo republicano. La reforma migratoriaquedó en el tintero.

Ahora Obama enfrenta bajos índices depopularidad que salpican las contiendas, por locual sólo ha enviado emisarios a los estadosmás competidos en el Senado. Cada candidatotambién carga su penitencia, es decir, no essólo culpa de Obama, sino de las particu-laridades de cada escaño.

Hay cuando menos cuatro contiendas delSenado: Colorado, Louisiana, Georgia y Kan-sas, cuyo desenlace no queda claro y quedeterminarán los resultados que bien puedenconocerse en su totalidad la misma noche delas elecciones, o bien habrá que esperar a quese concreten probables segundas vueltas an-tes de saber exactamente cuál será el balancefinal de poder. En Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa yCarolina del Norte también hay luchas cerradasque abren las posibilidades de que losrepublicanos sumen los seis escaños querequieren.

En Colorado, el titular demócrata Mark Udalldefiende su escaño ante el republicano CoryGardner. Udall apoya la reforma migratoria y

no pidió el retraso de las acciones ejecutivas,pero la dilación parece estar afectándolo.

Gardner ofrece respuestas dignas deCantinflas cuando habla de inmigración yparece apostar a que nadar entre dos aguaspuede suponerle votos latinos. Eso, aunquetenga el apoyo del antiinmigrante en jefe, TomTancredo.

Alfonso Aguilar, director ejecutivo del LatinoPartnership, del American Principles Project,está instando a los latinos de Colorado a votarpor Gardner.

El segmento de votantes latinos de Coloradopara quienes el tema migratorio define suspreferencias tiene que elegir entre la decepcióncon el demócrata, el republicano antirreforma,o simplemente no votar. Los grupos demovilización luchan para garantizar que loshispanos voten en una de las contiendas quepuede decidir el balance del Senado. El votolatino podría ser la diferencia entre el triunfo ola derrota de Udall.

En Carolina del Norte, donde hay casi 124mil votantes latinos registrados, la titulardemócrata, Kay Hagan, también enfrenta unareñida contienda ante el republicano Thom Tillis.Hagan votó en contra del DREAM Act en 2010,votó a favor del plan de reforma migratoria queel Senado aprobó en 2013, pero favorecióeliminar los fondos al plan de Acción Diferida(DACA) e instó por el retraso de las accionesejecutivas migratorias.

“El dilema para los votantes latinos será noapoyar a Hagan y facilitar la elección al Senado,para un periodo de seis años, del republicanoThom Tillis, quien tiene una política aún másdura contra los inmigrantes”, indicó RafaelPrieto, periodista radicado en Carolina delNorte.

Con todo, la potencial aspirante a lanominación presidencial demócrata, HillaryClinton, hizo campaña por Hagan el sábado yfue cuestionada por los DREAMers para queaclare sus posturas más allá de decir que apoyala reforma migratoria. Después de todo, suesposo, el ex presidente Bill Clinton, promulgóen 1996 una de las leyes más restrictivas con-tra los inmigrantes con documentos que tambiénimplementó las prohibiciones de los tres y losdiez años que han impedido que tantosindividuos puedan regularizar su situaciónmigratoria o reunirse con sus familias tras unadeportación. Pero la presión sobre Clintonapenas comienza.

Lo inmediato son las elecciones intermediasy paliza o no, por lo pronto, a votar.

CORRECTION: In our October 24 edi-torial about John McCann and StevePadilla endorsement we made severalfactual errors that we would like to cor-rect:

We stated that John McCann went toTexas to interview Jesus Gandara for theSweetwater Superintendent post. McCanndid not. He was not yet elected to theschool board.

We in-correctly stated that Gandara wasfired by the McCann led board aftercriminal charges had been filled. Gandarawas fired before the investigations orcriminal charges had been filed. Thepoint we were trying to make was thatGandara should have been fired for cause

Many of the issues that facethe Hispanic community:immigration, border secu-rity, racist public policy,

education, housing, employment, allthese and more and can be addressed onelection day if Hispanic voters get outand vote!

When Hispanics show up at the polls,politicians will have to sit up and takenotice and take into account their rela-tionship with the Hispanic community.If the Hispanic community in Escondidocomes out and votes, that city would notrespond to that community with steppedup ICE patrolling or police checkpointstargeting the Hispanic community. Thedraconian political actions taking placein Arizona, police stops, elimination ofChicano Studies and the banning of cer-tain books, would not occur. There wouldbe a political price to pay for anti-His-panic policies.

We have all talked about and continueto talk about the importance of voting.The block of Hispanic voters is much

sought after and can swing an election.The fear is that someday this block ofvoters will actually come out and vote!

But as a community, the sad fact is thatwe do not vote. Since 1986 the Hispanicvoter turnout has dropped from 38% to31% in 2010. Blacks vote at a 44% rateand Whites vote 49% of the time. In2010 there were 6.6 million voters outof 21.3 million eligible voters. Yet de-spite the low percentage, it was still arecord number of Hispanic voters due topopulation increases.

In 2014 there are 24.8 million eligiblevoters. If the Hispanics come out andvote at a rate equal to the Black voter thatwould equal 11 million voters. Thatwould cause a seismic shift in attitudesand public policy toward the Hispaniccommunity.

But nothing much will change if theHispanic voter choses to stay home andnot cast their vote on Nov. 4. The ball isin the hands of you, the voter. What areyou going to do?

City of Chula Vista, Proposition B:City Council Vacancies

Shall the City Charter be amendedso that, if a City Council seat becomesvacant with more than 12 months andless than 25 months remaining in theterm, the Council may fill the vacancyby appointment or call a special elec-tion; and so that in any special elec-tion to fill a vacancy, a candidate re-ceiving over 50% of votes cast isdeemed the winner with no run-off re-quired?

Prop B is one of those proposi-tions that started out as a goodidea and instead of stoppingthere, with the good idea, the

politicians had to go and ruin the wholething by adding on more than what wasneeded.

The good idea part of this propositionwas that when filling a vacant city coun-cil seat by special election, the ruling ofa manditory runoff is scrapped if a can-didate receives 50% of the votes cast.What this would do is eliminate the needfor a runoff between the two top votegetters. This part would save the city hun-dreds of thousands of dollars.

If the city council had stopped at thispoint, Prop B would have been a goodproposition. But no they had to go andadd more changes to the city charter.

At present a vacant city council seatcan be filled by appoint if there is lessthan 12 months left in the term. If thereis more than 12 months left in a term,

then the seat must be filled by the votersvia a special election. The added changewould be to extend the number of monthsfrom 12 to 25 months where the citycouncil will have the option to appoint aboard member.

The option for the council to appoint aCouncilmember with more than half aterm left circumvents Democracy andallows for the possibility of three coun-cil members manipulating the city coun-cil by appointment. We have seen thisprocess of electoral manipulation at theschool board level in Chula Vista whereat one time most of those board mem-bers had gained their seats via the ap-pointment process. Once appointed, andwith the incumbent tag, those “insiders”are practically guaranteed re-election tothe seat.

Men and women live and die to ensureour form of government and protect ourrights as a Democracy. As citizens wehave the right to elect our representa-tives. This expanded appointment pro-cess eliminates our right to elect that rep-resentation!

The main argument in favor of thisproposition is that it saves the citymoney. Our argument against Prop B isthat our forefathers and our military menand women have paid a much higher priceto ensure our right to elected represen-tation. Let’s not cheapen that right justto save a few dollars on those rare occa-sions when a special election is calledfor.

Vote NO on Prop. B

Nov 4 is Election Day, will you vote?

Prop. B circumvents Democracy

instead of receiving a golden parachuteof $400K. Reasons for his firing in-cluded Gandara’s billing of hundreds ofmeals to a district credit card even thoughhe was paid an $800-a-month allowancefor that purpose; the infamous ‘moneytree’ at his daughter’s bridal shower,where contractors had been invited; andhis decision to hire a PR firm withouttrustee knowledge. These were just a fewof the reasons but plenty evidence to firefor cause.

Lastly we misstated when we said he ranfor State Senate, he actually ran for StateAssembly.

John McCann wrote a letter in rebuttalto our editorial we invite you to read it.

THE PUBLIC FORUM ... EL FORO PÚBLICO...John McCann sets the record straight

I was surprised and disappointed about youreditorial and endorsement of my opponent forCity Council. I am additionally disappointedbecause the editorial is riddled with untruestatements and inaccuracies.

I do respectfully request that you correct thefactual errors in your editorial.

1. I never took a trip to Texas or voted tohire Jesus Gandara. He had been hired wellbefore me being on the school board. Fact isthat I had only been on the Board a couple ofmonths when I made the motion to terminateGandara. So the statement “Then there wasthe hiring of Jesus Gandara under McCann’swatch, he actually went to Texas to interviewhim.” is completely false.

2. I terminated Jesus Gandara in 2011 andGandara was not charged of any crime or any-thing else until 2012. I therefore terminated himprior to knowing anything about his crimesagainst the District. I never voted for and wasnot on the School Board when Gandara wasgiven his very lucrative contract with a goldenparachute. Therefore the statement “Then thefiring of Jesus Gandara with a very attractiveretirement package of more than $400,000 af-ter corruption charges had been filed againsthim.” is completely false.

3. Both my boys are bilingual in Spanish andEnglish. Both my boys played on the Xolos clubteam which was affiliated with the TijuanaXolos professional soccer team. I even brought

my sons down to the Xolos stadium in Tijuanafor soccer practice. My sister-in-law is alsoHispanic and was born in Tijuana.

When I was President of the School Board,I pushed for and renewed the compact for suc-cess with San Diego State. This is one of themost successful programs that helped thou-sands of students in the South Bay go to col-lege, the majority of them Latino. My wife is aminority and we both speak basic Spanish. Myopponent and his daughter don’t even speakSpanish. Therefore, calling me “anti-Hispanic”is clearly untrue and racially motivated. (Asclarification we did not call McCann “anti-His-panic.” We did state that when he ran for StateAssembly in 2008, on his web page, he fol-lowed the Republican line of thinking on stricterborder security. Based on this position we didsay that McCann “was not the person to rep-resent the Hispanic community.”)

These are just a few of the inaccuracies ofyour article.

¡ASK A MEXICAN!By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: Why do Mexican menthink all us gabachas are like the girlsin Bikini Car Wash? I am married, aconservative dresser, frankly not verygood-looking at all (but I do have blondehair, so maybe that counts forsomething on a guy’s internal whore-o-meter) and I speak karate-choppin’good Spanish In fact, that’s my job: Iinterpret for Spanish speakers whenthey go to the doctor’s office. So thenwhy—dear GOD WHY?—when Iinterpret for a Mexican man he seemsculturally required to at some point saysomething gross to me?

Here’s a real life example from lastweek: “Rafael”—like so many peoplewho work in dangerous jobs no güerowould accept—got hurt at work a yearago when he fell from an impossibleheight onto concrete and barely lived totell the tale. He had a series of doctor’sappointments wherein he got poked andprodded and his sexual dysfunction wasdiscussed ad infinitim with me as theintermediary (I think this might havesomething to do with it). As we werewaiting outside the last doctor’s office,he blushed and whispered to me, “Iwanna ask you a question, but I’membarrassed.” Oh dear god, I thought,here it comes. “Why do all yougabachas like to do—how do you sayit?—table dancing?”

Table dancing, Mexican. Is it possiblethat he has lived in this country forseven years and really thinks that weare all secretly strippers who like todance on tables? I understood thisbullshit when I lived in Latin America,since Bikini Car Wash-esque stuff playsconstantly on broadcast TV, but the manhas been in this country for sevenyears. How can he think something so

November 2014 electionrecommendationsSTATEWIDE:

Governor • Edmund G. “Jerry” Brown, Democratic: Jerry Brown has done a great jobin his first term.

Attorney General • Kamala D. Harris, Democratic: Harris has done an admirable jobas Attorney General and is on the right side of the issues such as gun control, pro-marriageequality, anti-death penalty.

Secretary of State • Alex Padilla, Democratic: The biggest difference between the twocandidates for this office is that one is a Republican, not exactly a strong point in ouropinion, and of course Padilla the Democrat. Other than that there is not much difference.When there is little difference between two candidates we will always endorse the His-panic candidate.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction • Tom Torlakson: The biggest differencebetween Marshall Tuck and Torlakson, is that Tuck is pro-charter schools, and is aboutcreating more changes in education, and what we really don’t like about Tuck is that hesees the problems with education as a union issue and as such would like to dismantlemany of the Union protections that teachers now have.

The last thing the schools need today are more changes, hasn’t there been enough with theNo Child Left Behind and now the poorly implemented Common Core! Tuck is pro-charter school which is contrary to the role of Superintendent of Public Instruction, thisperson should be working to improve public education instead of finding ways to siphonoff money from public ed and funneling it into private enterprises.

We believe that now is not the time for change, but a time for a steady hand on the wheelto help guide education and Torlakson is that person. Torlakson understands teachers andthe issues they face and is not so quick to blame the teachers for all troubles in education.

This Moms says “Back It Up Santa!”By Eileen Wacker

I’ve just finished back to school and all theassociated challenges and events for my fourkids, aged 11 through 16. I’ve attended back toschool nights, sports orientations and signed allthe “I promise to be a reasonable sports par-ent” forms. Homework, instruments, and gameshave started and I even brought snacks yes-terday for the team. I already have the datesfor the parent conferences.

With the overloaded routine approaching in-sanity… the thought of ‘holidays’ pushes metoward the edge. I am the holiday CEO (ChiefEntertainment Officer), organizing the food,presents, traditions, clothes, travel, kennels,house sitters and more. As a mom, I feel greatpressure to make the holidays special and fun.I’m the torchbearer of the traditions, eitherstruggling to maintain cherished ones or createnew ones for our family. Holidays are the ba-sis of some of the happiest childhood memo-ries. This translates into big expectations andPRESSURE.

The good news is when I let it happen, mychildren bring back the magic of the holidays!It’s very easy to get caught up in their joy aseach day gets marked off the calendar. Thekids are working out what they will be for Hal-loween and planning their candy collectionroutes. But before the Halloween candy is evenstale, the stores are gearing up for the holidayseason.

I have written a skit I think one of the latenight Jimmys should put on. I’ve named it BackIt Up Santa. The cast could be as follows: anassembly of ghosts, witches and fairies repre-senting Halloween. Multiple turkeys, pilgrimsand Indians could represent Thanksgiving.There would be a giant menorah with candle-holder arms. And, there would be a few moms.Everyone present would have a say aboutSanta! A very mad turkey would yell, ‘Back upfatso! You have your own holiday in a month,stay out of mine!’ The menorah would scream,‘Any adult who perpetrates a threat of coal for

a gift to children is just mean. And your big redsuit and ugly beard scare the children. No onewants to sit on your lap!’ Halloween would beup next. The Halloween characters wouldcrowd around Santa and threaten, ‘If you deco-rate one more store in October, we’ll send youinto the afterlife! You’re nothing but a holidayhijacker!’

Lastly, as a mom, I would get my chance tovent the loudest. ‘Christmas is a time of joy,but you are making it too commercialized. Wewant happy memories, not more pressure onshopping. Stop introducing new Christmas shop-ping initiatives like Black Friday and cyber Mon-day. I’m too tired and it’s actually dangerous atWal-mart! People are getting hurt! Come onSanta! Get some control over Christmas!’

I have one last gripe about Mr. North Pole.In second grade, my son approached me andasked earnestly, “Mom, please tell me the truthso I don’t look stupid on the playground. Is therea Santa Claus or is it really you and Dad?”Since he is the third of our four children, hisolder siblings knew the truth but we wanted topreserve the Christmas magic for the young-est ones as long as possible. I hesitated as Iwas debating wildly how to respond. Finally Isaid, “Okay, as long as you keep the magic ofChristmas alive, I’ll tell you. Mom and Dad areSanta.” He shuffled his feet and said, “Oh…”and started to walk away. Then he turnedaround and said, “Thank goodness for the ToothFairy and Easter Bunny.”

The elf on a shelf has made huge inroadsinto your fan base. He is very popular with chil-dren. So do all of us moms a favor and ‘back itup Santa’ and we’ll keep your magic alive!

It’s easy to blameMexican machismo, but the real issue isexoticism: gabachas are the Other, and thuseasily sexualized. The same thing happenswith gabachos and how they view Mexicanwomen: a University of Southern California(go Bruins!) study released earlier this yearshows that, while Latinos had only aboutfive percent of the roles in Hollywood’s 100top-grossing films of 2013, 38 percent of allLatina depicted in said películas hadactresses fully or partially naked—and that’snot including all the tight skirts and blousesnon-fat mujeres must wear at all times. This,of course, is nothing new—the spicyseñorita archetype goes back to the silentreelers. But, as a result, gabachos havesexualized Mexican women ever since—andif you don’t believe me, go to anyfraternity’s Drinko de Cinco bash.

Morelos y Pavón, los exbraceros se manifestaronmientras se desarrollaba elacto oficial. A las reunionesen Morelia, siguieronasambleas en Cuitzeo el 1 deoctubre, el 2 en Puruándiro,el 3 en La Piedad, y los días4 y 5 en Tierra Caliente,todos esto en el estado deMichoacán.

Posteriormente -el día 6-estuvieron en la Plaza deArmas de Guadalajara, dondelos manifestantes hablaronsobre el caso de losautodefensas, y su líderBinacional Ventura Gutiérrezcomentó: “la mayoría de lagente con quien platico ya nosabe quién es quién cuandose habla de los autodefensas.Porque enfrentan unadinámica parecida a la de lospartidos, donde no se sabe aquién irle. Esto debido a quetanto el gobierno como elcrimen organizado tiene yfinancia sus propios grupos”.Por tal motivo consideraronlos ex braceros, en sumayoría los “verdaderos,Auténticos o legítimos”autodefensas están en lospenales de Michoacán y enotros estados del país. Altérmino de la reunióninformativa en Guadalajara,todos en coro repitieron lasconsignas del recorrido.

“¿Peña, Cuando los Exbraceos?”, y “Castillo, NO esun Crimen Defenderse”, almismo tiempo que firmabanel escrito dirigido al Dr.Méreles y el Formato enapoyo a la Ley de Amnistíapresentada en el Senado dela República. Al día siguiente,7 de octubre, losmanifestantes hicieron lopropio en Tepic, Nayarit; y eldía 8 en Culiacán, Sinaloa.

Finalmente, el 13 deoctubre miembros del ComitéNacional Ejecutivo deBraceroproa, decenas de exbraceros y su líder VenturaGutiérrez acudieron al Penalde Hermosillo con laintención de visitar al Dr.Mireles, pero únicamente lefue permitido el paso alLicenciado Salvador MolinaNavarro, uno de los abogadosde los autodefensas. Conestas acciones -a decir de loslíderes de Braceroproa- secumplió el objetivo depresentar el escrito desolidaridad dirigido al Dr.Mireles y demás AuténticosAutodefensas presos. En ellugar, Ventura Gutiérrezdeclaró: “ahora soloesperaremos la libertad delDr. Mireles y losautodefensas, para seguirrespaldando la lucha que ellosdecidan seguir dando…”.

Hoy en día los ex bracerosno sólo se manifiestan afavor de su causa, la realidadnacional y la ebullición deprotestas y grupos socialesvejados, los han hechosolidarizarse con otrascausas. Sus manifestacionescontinuarán. La próximasemana líderes deBraceroproa estarán en BajaCalifornia y Los Angeles conel fin de sumarse a la ola devoces que exigen unaReforma Migratoria quebeneficie a los millones demexicanos indocumentadosen Estados Unidos. Mientrasque, sobre el caso de susahorros perdidos y la luchaque desde 1998 mantienenpor su recuperación, el líderBinacional consideró: “elgobierno de Enrique PeñaNieto le sigue dando laespalda a la causa históricade los ex braceros”. Ademásde recalcar: “pareciera serque para él (el presidente) noexistieran los ex braceros,pero sí los dueños del capitalen el extranjero y sus sociosvende patria mexicanas”. Adecir de los ex braceros, si elgobierno federal mexicanocontinúa dándoles la espalda,“¡que se le eche mas leña alfuego que ya incendioEnrique Peña Nieto!”.and other government officials,

several versions exist (disputedin part by Atoytzinapa attorneyVidulfo Rosales Sierra) of whythe students, who were inIguala collecting monetary do-nations from the public in or-der to be able to attend theannual commemoration of Oc-tober 1968 Tlatelolco Massa-cre in Mexico City, were soviciously targeted by municipalpolice and Guerreros Unidoscartel gunmen in the first place.

Implicated as the authors ofthe violence, now-fugitive IgualaMayor Jose Luis Abarca andhis wife, Maria de los AngelesPineda Villa, who has beenidentified as the sister of found-ing members of GuerrerosUnidos, were reportedly in-censed at the Ayotzinapa stu-dents’ presence in Iguala whilea ceremony and dance attendedby the couple was in progresson September 26.

Consequently, either Abarcaor his wife- or both- orderedthat a harsh lesson be given tothe young people.

A related explanation for themass abduction that climaxedthe police shootings of the stu-dents and passing members ofthe public is that corrupt cityofficials and Guerreros Unidosmade a monstrous misjudg-ment in confusing the studentswith “Los Rojos,” a rival orga-nized crime group.

So far, more than 50 peoplehave been detained in connec-tion with the violence, includ-ing Iguala policemen and al-leged Guerreros Unidos mem-bers, according to AttorneyGeneral Murillo. In commentsabout this week’s political up-heaval, President Pena Nietoreiterated his government’s

commitment to locating themissing students and applyingjustice.

“The President of the Re-public makes the sentiment ofindignation his own…,” PenaNieto said.

While the Iguala atrocitiesare far from unique in Mexico,the September 26-27 violencehas perhaps no better exposedin one fell swoop the collusionof government and organizedcrime, the criminal infiltrationand corruption of political par-ties, the cold hand of officialrepression, and the incapabil-ity or disinterest of the state inguaranteeing the security of itscivilians.

A central message of pro-testers this week: Iguala wasa crime against humanity com-mitted by the state. Analystsand commentators of all stripesweighed in on the turmoil.

“Preceded by the scandalaround the (June 30) firingsquad execution of 22 peopleby the army in the Mexico statevillage of Tlatlaya, the case ofthe disappearance of the 43Ayotzinapa students turned onits head the government ofEnrique Pena Nieto, whichwas acting triumphant becauseof its structural reforms- espe-cially the energy one- and thatwere displayed abroad as amodern and vanguard govern-ment,” wrote Proceso’s JoseGil Olmos.

“Nonetheless, Pena Nieto’sgovernment is completely over-whelmed by a social, politicaland economic crisis…”

Columnist Jorge Ramos, thestar broadcaster of the Span-ish-language television net-work Univision that is beamedinto millions of U.S. house-

holds, was no less poignant ina column this past week.

“The dead of Mexico can nolonger be hidden. The massa-cres of Tlatlaya and Igualashow the worst of the country:the army massacring civiliansand the police murdering stu-dents. This is Barbarous Mexi-co. And the government ofPresident Enrique Pena Nietois almost deaf, paralyzed andoverwhelmed, as if the faultwas not its own,” Ramos wrote.

“Mexico smells rotten; itsmells of the old PRI (Presi-dent Pena Nieto’s InstitutionalRevolutionary Party). Studentsthe country over, with marchesand protests, no longer swal-low the old (government) talethat we will search and pun-ish. The lines are drawn: thegovernment, its army and po-lice are not with the students,with the victims of violence, ortheir families. Mexico was bro-ken in Iguala…”

Ironically, the outcomes ofthe massacre in Iguala, thevery place where Mexico’s in-dependence from Spain wasformalized in 1821, could welllead to a new day for the na-tion-or its demise. As oneCiudad Juarez activist re-marked to FNS, the great chal-lenge of the youth and popularuprising of October 2014 willbe to maintain the grassrootsmomentum while organizingand articulating the movementin a way so genuine, lastingchanges result.

Vista schools governing board.“We cannot afford to have

people with absolutely no ex-perience or knowledge in edu-cation making decisions forthousands of students,” hesaid. “It is frightening to thinkthat people in completely dif-ferent fields who have neverbeen in the classroom, thatdon’t know or understand thedifferent programs for stu-dents, and are completely dis-connected from students,teachers, and parents, makedecisions regarding the aca-demic future of students.”

Also, as far as we can tell,Reyes is the only Latino can-didate in this race. Given thatthe majority of the students inthe district are of Latino ori-gin, it makes sense to have aLatino perspective in Seat 5.

“One of the key elements inteaching is making instructionengaging and relevant,” Reyessaid. “This cannot happen if thepeople making decisions haveno connection with the Latino

community. CVESD has over60 percent of Latino parentsand students. A significant per-centage of this population fallsin the at-risk group. I under-stand the culture, needs, chal-lenges, and opportunities of thispopulation and I am commit-ted to continue providing sup-port for the Latino communityand all other at-risk populationsin order to close the achieve-ment gap.”

Reyes, who currently worksas a principal of an alternativemiddle/high school, has beenendorsed by the teachers’ andclassified employees’ unions,and by many educators andelected officials throughoutSan Diego County.

Reyes said that these “en-dorsements mean trust” be-cause “throughout my careerI have been able to gain thetrust of countless people andorganizations for this job. Itmeans that I am able to workand collaborate well with oth-ers and that I value the inputof all stakeholders.”

Regarding the recent con-

tract agreement between theteachers’ union and the schooldistrict, Reyes said that he isall about “rebuilding trust on allsides.”

“It is important to improvethe moral of teachers and par-ents. An important componentof rebuilding trust is respect-ing teachers. I am committedto actively listening to all stake-holders and avail myself toteachers, parents, and commu-nity members,” he said.

But in addition to his vastexperience as an educator,Reyes said the biggest asset hewill bring to the Chula VistaElementary School Districtgoverning board is his “deepand genuine care for students.”

“I chose this profession be-cause it is my passion. I planto serve all stakeholders ofCVESD with that same pas-sion,” Reyes said.
